Schedules free pickup for usable furniture and large items. Schedule online at satruck.org.
Small homeowner quantities with city pickup where allowed
Free in some citiesA minority of cities accept small amounts of homeowner-generated debris: bagged drywall and plaster under a weight limit, bundled lumber with nails removed, a few bags of tile. Limits are strict and contractor debris is never included. Check the city rule.
Bag heavy materials in small bags (under 40 to 50 pounds) so crews can lift them.
Concrete and roofing are excluded almost everywhere even where drywall is allowed.
Free listings for usable material
FreePavers, bricks, clean fill dirt, lumber, leftover tile, and even broken concrete (for fill and retaining walls) are claimed on free listings. 'Free clean fill, you load' is one of the most reliable listings in home improvement.
Stack it at the curb or driveway edge so takers do not need an appointment.

Provo, Utah takes a seasonal approach to bulk waste: Spring Cleanup (March to May) and Fall Cleanup each provide six weeks of roll-off dumpsters at multiple city locations for residents to drop off large items and bulk waste, with a free transfer station load coupon included. Provo has no appointment-based or automated curbside bulk pickup outside these seasonal windows. Year-round, everything must fit inside the cart. The South Utah Valley Solid Waste District handles HHW and electronics for the region. This guide covers disposal options for City of Provo residents.
Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.
Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:
Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$30 to $100 per pickup loadTransfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.
Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.
Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.
